Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 chamomile tea bags
- 1–2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup (240 ml) warm water
- Optional: cinnamon stick or a pinch of ground cinnamon
- Optional: 2-3 fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Boil 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh water in a kettle or saucepan until rolling boil (about 3-5 minutes).
- Place 1-2 chamomile tea bags into a teapot or heatproof mug. Pour the hot water over the tea bags and steep for 5 minutes.
- Remove the tea bags gently. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of honey while the tea is still hot to dissolve.
- Add about 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and stir again. Adjust sweetness or lemon to taste.
- If desired, add a cinnamon stick or a pinch of ground cinnamon and/or muddle 2-3 fresh mint leaves for a refreshing twist.
- Let the tea cool slightly to a comfortable sipping temperature. If too strong or bitter, add a splash of warm water.
Notes
Let water cool for about 30 seconds after boiling to avoid bitterness. Stir honey gently to prevent settling. Steep for about 5 minutes for best flavor. Adding a splash of warm milk or dairy-free alternative after steeping can create a creamier texture. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours and reheat gently.
